Comparing Chinese provinces with countries – the economist
Which countries match the GDP , population and exports of Chinese provinces?
*Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all goods and services produced within a country in a given period.
It is often considered an indicator of a country’s standard of living.
China is now the world’s second-biggest economy, but some of its provinces by themselves would rank fairly high in the global league. Our map shows the nearest equivalent country. For example, Guangdong’s GDP (at market exchange rates) is almost as big as Indonesia’s; the output of both Jiangsu and Shandong exceeds Switzerland’s. Some provinces may exaggerate their output: the sum of their reported GDPs is 10% higher than the national total. But over time the latter has consistently been revised up, suggesting that any overstatement is modest.
